A leisurely ride along the Northern shores of Fish Lake. Near the start of the trail you will cross a small dam that requires riders to dismount. Expect to encounter countless people and their dogs fishing along the shore during the busier summer weekends. The trail is fairly easy going, but can develop some wet spots during wet season.

Access Info

From the Fish Lake Parking lot, follow the main path on the right across the bridge.
